i just beat it after having it for around....oh 17 days? i got it the first night of channukah.
i dont know if ill have time to play it again, but if i am ever bored, i can certainly come back to it. great game, the ending was a little unsatisfyingbut still totally awesome. the scope is definitely much grander than previously; it takes a while to run just about anywhere in the major cities.Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
the combat system is great, but the battles with rodrigo borgia get boring. for a fat 60-year-old man in the papal outfit, he certainly moves like a 20 year old in a t-shirt and shorts. he blocks just about every attack, counters dont work on him, trying to disarm him gets you nowhere, and the only way to beat him is: attack,attack,attack, block, attack, attack, attack, block, attack, attack, attack, block...etc.
notoriety is handled kinda funny. because, as we all know, removing 4 wanted posters makes a man wanted for hundreds of (known) murders, who has a 50,000 florin bounty on his head, makes him totally unknown. and killing people automatically spawns corrupt officials and wanted posters. but i know if it was more than 4 for being totally incognito from a 100% criminal, id go insane.
there is 1 mission that i almost ripped my brains out over though. the one iwth davincis flying machine. it. is. stupid. and. boring. and. whoever. designed. it. needs. to. fall. down. a. cliff.
one can only hear "Marcossi! shoot! shoot the flying demon!" so many times before he cracks...
while it may seem like i hate the game, it is a work of art. i just cant think of too much to say about it besides the parts that drove me crazy. i advise everyone to get this game.
